Futures: The Nifty 50 June (15,285) Futures is down by 0.22 per cent. The immediate outlook is unclear. A range of 15,200-15,430 is visible on the charts. A breakout on either side of this range will determine the contract’s direction.
A break above 15,430 can take the contract up to 15,600-15,650. On the other hand, a break below 15,200 will intensify the selling pressure and drag the contract down to 15,000 and even lower.
Traders can stay on the sidelines now. Go short on a break below 15,200. Keep the stop-loss at 15,270. Move the stop-loss down to 15,160 as soon as the contract falls to 15,110. Move the stop-loss down to 15,080 as soon as the contract touches 15,040 on the downside. Book profits at 15,020.
Trading strategy: Go short on a break below 15,200. Keep the stop-loss at 15,270 for the target of 15,020. Move the stop-loss down to 15,160 as soon as the contract falls to 15,110. Move the stop-loss down to 15,080 as soon as the contract touches 15,040 on the downside.
